The 1984 Trans America Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Tournament (now known as the Atlantic Sun Men's Basketball Tournament) was held March 8–10, 1984 at Spring Branch Coliseum in Houston, Texas.[1]

Houston Baptist defeated Samford in the championship game, 81–76, to win their first TAAC/Atlantic Sun men's basketball tournament. The Huskies, in turn, received an automatic bid to the 1984 NCAA Tournament, their first Division I tournament appearance.

Even though Georgia State joined the TAAC for the 1983–84 season, the Panthers did not compete in the conference tournament.
